Blog78: Tips to Stop Sugar Cravings

In the world of health and wellness, sugar cravings are one of the most subtle and challenging. Generally speaking, people get sugar cravings, act on it, and feel some guilt afterwards, only to repeat the whole cycle all over again. Sugar cravings have a way of getting to people at just the right time of the day, and while some people can make quick changes and overcome them, others need a bit more help. Here are 11 more useful tips to stop sugar cravings:

1. When you experience a craving and hunger at the same time, force yourself to have a healthy meal rather than junk food.

2. Drink a glass of water. Some people say that dehydration can cause cravings.

3. Eat a fruit. Having a piece of fruit may help satisfy sugar cravings for some people. Bananas, apples, oranges work great.

4. Avoid artificial sweeteners. If you feel that artificial sweeteners trigger cravings for you, you might want to avoid them.

5. Eat more protein. Protein is great for satiety, and it may help with cravings as well.

6. Sleep well. Getting proper, refreshing sleep is important for overall health and may help prevent cravings.

7. Avoid excess stress. Same as with sleep, avoiding stress can help prevent cravings.

8. Prepare a list of food and read your list. It can be very helpful to carry a list of the reasons you want to eat healthy, as it can be hard to remember such things when you get a craving.

9. Don't starve yourself. Try to prevent yourself from becoming too hungry between meals.
